Directions
The East Bank Trailhead is located on the North Cascades Highway (SR 20) near Milepost 138 on the north side of the road. This is about 3 miles east of the Ross Dam Trailhead. In the winter months the highway is usually closed and gated at the location of the Ross Dam Trailhead due to avalanche danger at higher elevations. During this time you cannot drive to the East Bank Trailhead parking lot.
